[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 381231, member: 13534"] Yes, I would myself [use tncs for the cable] but at that distance away [115M] some folks might disapprove. Still, if you stuck it into plastic box with a nylon compression gland, there would not even be an exposed bit of gland at the far end, [people might moan about a potential difference between tncs earth and standing next to the shed earth, you know what i mean] so that sorts that!! 16mm gives a 6 volt drop at 18 amps, so 1 volt inside 3% Know what you mean about the load growing though.... I would DEFINITELY use a 4 core 16mm and have the three phases in the shed too.. Twice the cable price, but three times better!! The 16mm 2 core would be £322 25mm 2 core would be £486 and the 4 core 16mm would be £539 john... [/QUOTE]
